  1. Yes, this is exactly how the Twins should be tearing apart Santiago. Let's just make sure not to take a 5-0 lead, because we learned last year how dangerous those are.
  2. Fun fact: Escobar leads the MLB in doubles with 14 right now.
  3. Boy, we better be able to beat Santiago today. Though the White Sox should also be able to beat Lance Lynn...
  4. I would have preferred Willians Astudillo, but I guess they want Wilson's proven mit behind the plate. Problem is he's almost guaranteed to be a black hole in the lineup, but Castro was already that. If you would have told me that Ryan LaMarre, Gregorio Petit, Matt Magill, and Bobby Wilson were all on the roster on May 5th, I probably wouldn't have believed you... though maybe I would have because it seems like these scenarios happen year after year here.
  5. C'mon, Dozier, you're just a double away from the cycle...!
  6. You just know the Twins are going to find a way to lose this. I can't trust this bullpen...
  7. I thought Molitor had kicked the bunting addiction. Nice job burning a run there.
  8. So Molitor took Dozier out of the #1 spot in the lineup, as some here hoped he would... but he only dropped him to #2. Well, maybe it'll be better that way, but Dozier's been in a pretty big slump so I'm not sure it's going to help.
  9. I'm not sure what Gordon and Wade have left to prove in AA at this point. It's time for at least a promotion to AAA and the Twins could use Wade in the majors right now.
  10. Interesting... Nick Anderson was not on my radar, but looking at the stats now, he's blown through the minors with some phenomenal numbers, especially in the upper minors. Sure, he's already 27, but he started with the Twins at age 24, so it's impressive he's made it all the way to AAA at this point. I think he could help the Twins at some point this year. I'd rather see him than other guys like Duffey.
  11. Yup, we're officially bad, if it wasn't official before. The bad teams are counting on us to consistently win games. I think some of us have forgotten how truly terrible Grossman is in the outfield. He was historically bad in 2016 and he's back to that level after not playing much outfield in 2017. It's not like his bat helps the lineup as in a good year he'll hit .260 with little power and good OBP... we have enough of that with Mauer. I'd almost rather see LaMarre play out there just for the defense. Or maybe they could get Wade up until Buxton is ready. On a different note, it seems Odorizzi gets so many strikeouts it clogs up his pitch count and he gets gassed real quick. I still think he can be a #3 starter, but we haven't quite gotten that from him. Reed regressing a little bit is what it is. Relievers will have cold and hot streaks sometimes. If they keep relying on him all the time, the odds are he will disappoint you sometimes.
  12. Yup, the White Sox were licking their chops coming into this series. Oh wait, I thought it was the 8th inning. Whoops. Game over!
  13. Is it a good idea to have Rogers throw a 3rd inning? Just wondering...
  14. Sometimes Molitor is a victim of really bad pitching. Other times Molitor just makes terrible decisions that could be seen coming a mile away. Between the two, the Twins have sure lost a lot of games...
  15. You mean there's nobody there or everybody who is there are all horrible people?
  16. Nice, Daniel Palka's in their lineup. I want to see him have a good game at the plate... and have the rest of the White Sox go hitless.
  17. I don't think Hughes pitching well for another team is a realistic concern. That's no reason to keep him on the team while providing negative value.
  18. He did a fine job today, and the pitching staff had a shutout. Good show!
  19. Will they be able to score a single run after 3 straight hits?
  20. RISP: 1 for 8 Yep. Yet another game with awful situational hitting.
